"What are the best examples of persuasive technology in the wild?
Persuasive technology is the use of behavior design in technology, that is, to create lasting behavior change through design.
Examples:
- Your car tells you how energy-efficient your driving style is in real time, so you can adjust.
- Bitter nail polish (Manicare) to help people stop biting nails.
- Visualize how your energy use compares to your neighbors on your gas & electric bill, creating competitive drive to save energy." (https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-best-examples-of-persuasi... )

"Persuasive technology, which can take the form of apps or websites, marries traditional modes of persuasion — using information, incentives, and even coercion — with the new capabilities of devices to change user behavior. Persuasive technology can be found in mobile downloads, or on the digital homes of tech giants like Amazon and Facebook, where behavior-oriented design persuades us to buy more often (one-click checkout) or stay logged in (manipulating social media news feeds). Many mobile apps that try to influence user behavior are either health-oriented — apps that incentivize weight loss, help to manage addictions and other mental health issues, or influence sleep practices — or promote environmental awareness — like Opower, which encourages energy conservation. Though it’s been around for a while, persuasive technology is becoming increasingly popular and profitable, inviting a deeper look into its ethics and efficacy."

"What is Captology?
Captology is the study of computers as persuasive technologies. This includes the design, research, and analysis of interactive computing products (computers, mobile phones, websites, wireless technologies, mobile applications, video games, etc.) created for the purpose of changing people’s attitudes or behaviors. BJ Fogg derived the term captology in 1996 from an acronym: Computers As Persuasive Technologies = CAPT.
Where Persuasion and Computers Intersect
The field of captology and persuasive technology is growing quickly. Every day more computing products, including websites and mobile apps, are designed to change what people think and do.
As we see it today, captology isn’t just persuasive web sites or video games to change behaviors. Captology is a way of thinking clearly about target behaviors and how to achieve those goals using technology. Captology is a method with related tools for solving problems. Our frameworks and theories are all about helping people understand and measure what matters." (http://captology.stanford.edu/about/what-is-captology.html )

"The Science of Captology
One of the most popular behavior change models used by behavior tech companies is that of Stanford professor BJ Fogg, a pioneer in the area of persuasive technology. Fogg even coined the term “captology”–Computers As Persuasive Technology. The gist of Fogg’s model is that for any behavior to occur, three components must be present: motivation, ability, and a trigger.

For behavior change apps to be successful, users have to go to the gym, eat a healthy salad, or say “no” to ice cream–not just scroll mindlessly through cat memes.
[…]
This is where the true effectiveness of behavior change apps comes seems debatable. Even the best apps–with simple and intuitive UI, engaging content, and research-based methodology–are helpless when it’s time to actually go for a run."

"behavior modification apps"
[…]
The idea that computers, mobile phones, websites, and other technologies could be designed to influence people’s behavior and even attitudes dates back to the early 1990s, when Stanford researcher B. J. Fogg coined the term “persuasive computing” (later broadened to “persuasive technology”). But today many companies have taken that one step further: using technologies that measure customer behavior to design products that are not just persuasive but specifically aimed at forging new habits."

De voor de hand liggende oplossing: een elektronische coach, overal en altijd tot uw beschikking. En daar wordt door wetenschappers aan gewerkt. De belangrijkste uitdaging: mensen verleiden tot een gedragsverandering, zonder aversie op te wekken." (http://web.tue.nl/cursor/bastiaan/jaargang48/cursor32/achter... )
we definitely need a bit more context here!
"Het is vastgesteld dat dit een gerapporteerde phishingwebsite is. Phishingwebsites imiteren andere websites en proberen u te verleiden tot het openbaar maken van persoonlijke of financiële informatie."

"Internet Explorer has determined that this is a reported phishing website. Phishing websites impersonate other sites and attempt to trick you into revealing personal or financial information."
